Hi Team

I have the required data in one of the fields but the logs are not in order how can i extract the required data. Below is the example of how it looks

row1 -->   A
                    B
                    C
                    D


row2 -->   D
                     A
                     B
                     C

row3-->    C
                     D
                     A
                     B

im trying to extract the data using mvindex
| eval x= mvindex(split(planname,"\n"),2) | table x --> Since in index 2nd position for all the rows the data is different so im unable to view the correct data.

Please let me know the query to extract the data

Thanks

| eval _raw="ABCD"
| appendpipe [ eval _raw="DABC"
| appendpipe [ eval _raw="CBAB"]]
``` this is sample data ```
| eval _raw=split(_raw,"")
| rex ("?<yourData>A")

If the data has features, it can be extracted using regular expressions.
